Quid vs. Pound vs. Pence

I can't seem to figure this out so thought I'd just ask here:

What is the difference between Quid and Pound when talking about currency? They both seem to mean the same thing. I read a wiki article on it but now I'm more confused.
If something costs £1.23 how is that stated in words? "1 quid and 23 pence"?

you mean britain....

in my view if anyone asks you for a quid they are ermm i better keep it clean junkies who want a quid for god no's what.. Anyone who asks for a pound needs to get a job... A quid and a pound are the same thing but there are alot of different names what mean money nowadays like cockny slang etc bee's and honey (money), jonny cash (pounds=cash) damion hill (money=bills)... A pound is simple to understand but knowing the different slangs of a pound wlll get you different things nowaways.. (im not talking about shops like most members are right talking about, im talking about street terms) theres more i could say but i dont want to get banned agian so its a clean night..

I think Cockney rhyming slang confuses foreigners even more lol

And i think Quid is used a lot more in Northern England. Not sure about Scotland. People around my area say quid a lot. Or we say 'pound' without an s on the end, but still use it as plural.

A little further north from where i live, they take the 'o' out aswell, and they end up saying just 'pund'

I'm assuming in the north pole, its just pnd, or d for short.

For some reason I hear people using "squid" in my area nowadays, in a very casual way, of course. Sort "omg have you seen the new ipod, 200 squid and it's no different from the current one, what a rip-off!". I dont think they actually expect to pay for it in marine cephalopods, but then again, who knows?

If I see tentacles writhing from your jeans prior to a consumer purchase my inherent geeky nature will leap to the worst possible 'impending apocalypse' scenario it can latch onto, I will be nigh helpless as I reach for the nearest sharp, blunt or effectively harmless (But damned comforting!) weapon I can find...

What happens in the next few (hopefully brief) moments of your life will purely be judged on your speed, flexibility and the evil 'world ending' potential of your squid.
